2007 Audi A3 1.9L Diesel · DY07 XEF

The September 21, 2023 MOT at 172,442 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating that the car is presently roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows no worsening trend. Previous tests in August 2022 and August 2021 also passed without recorded defects, reinforcing a stable condition. Mileage has risen from 155,010 miles in August 2021 to 163,485 miles in August 2022, a gain of 8,475 miles, and then to 172,442 miles in September 2023, an additional 8,957 miles, averaging roughly 9,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 19‑year‑old Audi A3. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or binding, inspect the brake calipers and discs for corrosion or uneven wear, and check the structural integrity of the wheel arches and chassis for rust, as these areas commonly show signs of age even when MOTs record no defects. Given the consistent pass history and steady mileage accumulation, the vehicle appears well maintained, but a thorough physical inspection of the highlighted components is essential before purchase.
